Forget the sig problem with Evo. Thats just a fancy thing I want to use. :)

K stock install of Evolution, no patches (that i know of) were applied to it. The other day I was fiddling with it for over 2 hours. Mostly setting it up the way I wished. At one point I was playing with the smtp/pop options for "Security on email checking" (or something similarly worded) tab in the "Tools/Mail Preferences" section.

What I was doing was seeing if my ISP used any sort of security checks other than a password to retrieve/send email when contacting their Mail server. (God I hope thats worded right... stupid demerol.)

Anyway, long story short here, I had an open "test" email. It was to be sent to myself on one of my isp's accts. Nothing strange about that. However, when I fiddled with ANY settings to do with security or if I changed HOW I wanted/tried to get the security to work, the email just wouldn't send. Period. This occurred more than once.

So for example, if on that tab I had checked on "Password needed" as an option and then added Say... "Mail uses SSL" while the email was still open, it won't send. If I revert it to the setting I *know* works properly (namely only having my password checked, nothing else) with that email Still open it still will NOT send!

For fun I even tried just re-entering everything on that tab that I knew worked (I tried the same settings with a diff mail program first to verify they worked), if the email was left open, it won't send. I have to close that draft/test email (I didn't shutdown Evo just to be clear), then open a new email/draft for it to work.

Now is that normal for Evo? Or is this a weird bug I just found? Someone test this you'll see what I mean. I initially told Charlie about this, he said it was odd too & may play with Evo to see what the hells going on.

Thoughts?
